With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,. and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a window frame with a lower sash-partly raised to illustrate the application of the invention and a wall partly broken away to illustrate the position of the screen within a wall pocket. 0

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary perspective of the upper edge of the screen.

Figure 4 is a sectional view 44 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, where in like characters of reference denote corre sponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a window frame provided with upper and lower sashes 11 and 12 respectively. All of the above is of the usual and well known construction incident to that of window frames which form no part of the present taken .on line application for Letters-Patent but are mere-.

ly mentioned for purposes of illustration in bringing forward the novel advantages of the above entitled invention.

The invention comprehendsa screen preferably provided with a channeled frame 13. The upper rail of the screen frame is provided with transversely disposed elongated slotted portions 14, the purpose of which will be presently apparent.

The lower rail of the lowermost of the 1927. Serial No. 192,414.

sashes is provided with a groove or channel 15 to receive an appreciable portion of the up per rail of the screen frame. The slots 14 are arranged to receive plate members 16 having the opposed ends thereof secured within a lowier surface of the aforementioned bottom rai 1 The side rails of the screen frame are flattened to provide oppositely and laterally disposed rib portions 17 adapted for sliding movement within the sash run between a blind stop or casing and a parting strip after the 'manner of the window sash. Said run is preserved and extended for an appreciable distance within a wall pocket located immediately below the Window sill in order that the screen may be entirely positioned within the wall pocket. The sash when opened will simultaneously raise the screen in position for active use.

It is obviously understood that I may attach my screen to the upper rails of upper sashes. Said screen will be likewise shiftedwithin a wall pocket immediately above the window frame. y

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim. Having described the invention, what is claimed is:

A window screen comprising a relatively flat channeled frame grippingly engaging the marginal edges of the screen mesh therefor,

the upper rail of the frame bein adapted for reception within a groove in the lower rail of the lower window sash and having an elongated horizontally disposed slot disposed in line with the adjacent surface of the aforementioned rail, and a plate member extended within the slot and, having the opposed ends thereof secured to the aforementioned-surface of the sash rail.
